You need to make sure that the Shaderlight toolbar is showing up on your screen. Now you can start using Shaderlight! There is one more thing you should do to get started.
#Render plugin sketchup code
To do this, go to the plugins toolbar, go down to the option labeled “Activate Shaderlight,” and then enter the code that was emailed to you.
#Render plugin sketchup trial
You’ll have to activate your 14 day trial to get access to all their features. Once you download the 14 day trial and run the installation file, Shaderlight should automatically show up in SketchUp.
After your 14 days are up, you can still use Shaderlight for free, but some of the features are restricted (I believe you are limited in the size of image you can create and some of the tools aren’t active).
#Render plugin sketchup software
However, if you just want to participate in their contest, you can download a 14 day trial of their software here ( ). To start off, Shaderlight is a paid rendering program. Here are a couple images from Shaderlight’s website to give you an idea of what can be done by experts in photorealistic rendering. I do want to note, I do not consider myself an expert on creating renderings, but I’ve worked with them enough to be able to walk you through some of the basics. The deadline for entries into this contest is October 31st, so I figured now might be a good time to do a quick tutorial on using Shaderlight to create photorealistic renderings. The most popular rendering on their facebook page will be the winner. They are requesting that entries be emailed to them, then these entries will be uploaded to their facebook page. Right now, Shaderlight (one of the rendering softwares mentioned above) is holding a 3D rendering contest. I hope to do a post about each of these programs in the future. Basically, the way these programs work is by applying realistic materials to your 3D objects, then applying lighting to their materials to make them look realistic. Some of these can be downloaded for free, and some of them have to be purchased. There are many rendering programs for SketchUp, such as Lumion, Twilight Render, V-Ray, and Shaderlight (as well as many more).
Rendering is using a computer program to create a realistic image of a 3D model. In this post, I want to talk about a photorealistic rendering plugin. One of the things that I want to do with the SketchUp Essentials is review and talk about different third party plugins that can make SketchUp more powerful.
